I Don"t Always CH CH CH AW AW AW

I'm not superstitious, but today is Friday the 13th. Don't press your luck if you go out tonight. I wouldn't trust your date if they're late because they were sharpening their machete. This is not a night to be naked. I feel secure at home, sitting safely in my bathroom, covered in peanut butter. This wards off evil spirits.

While the fear of Friday the 13th is often referred as Triskaidekaphobia (which is fear of the number 13), the correct word is Paraskevidekatriaphobia (Fear of Friday the 13th). I occasionally have Stultophobia, which is fear of stupid people who invent phobias. Stultophobia is also known as Dumbassophobia.

There are things you can do to avoid bad luck. For example, if a woman has excessive belly fat and a muffin-top, it can be fatal.....especially if you mention it to her. On Friday the 13th in 1966, a white Detroit sociologist, who had just demonstrated his lack of fear by walking under 13 ladders and throwing a black cat through a mirror, was run over by a black rapper.

I'm not saying to stay at home and curl up under the bed, but I'm also not advocating that you walk in front of a Mack truck to test the theory either. To me, it's the little things to keep an eye on this evening.

For example, I wouldn't recommend arguing with a woman wearing a black hat tonight. It also occurs to me to avoid hanging out with any of my friends who might be named Jason. No, for the most part, I'm not superstitious but I don't push my luck, either. But, that's just me.....

Printable Things I Never Told You: 1) The argument between sex versus heart attack can be solved by dating a nurse.  2) Jesus said to Peter, "Come forth and I will give you eternal glory." Peter came fifth and won a toaster. 3) Anyone who feels bad about dumping a huge national debt on the next generation hasn't spent a lot of time around millennials. 4) I think there should be a mandatory test at age 16 that you have to pass and if not, you get neutered or spayed.  5) I got a postcard from a blonde girlfriend of mine. It said, "I'm having a great time. Where am I?".....and that's five !

Today's Horoscope: Capricorn - January 13th: Your task today is to keep these words in mind: Give a liberal a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a liberal to fish, he'll add to the global over-depletion of the oceans, then complain about global warming while he cashes his government check at the liquor store, so just give him the damned fish.

The AREA 51 Retirement Home Bar And Grill: A man picked up his sexy date at her parent's home. He had saved enough money to take her to a fancy restaurant. She ordered shrimp cocktail, foie gras, lobster and Dom Perignon champagne, the most expensive items on the menu.

He asked her, "Does your mother feed you like that when you eat at home?" She replied, "No, but my mother's not expecting sex tonight." He asked, "What would you like for dessert?"

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: My thanks to my dear friend Linda for her contributions to today's stories.

A cowboy appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter asked, "Have you ever done anything of particular merit to allow you through the gateway to Heaven?"

The cowboy said, "Well, I can think of one thing. On a trip to the Black Hills out in South Dakota, I came upon a gang of bikers who were threatening a young woman. I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn't listen. So, I approached the largest and most tattooed biker and smacked him in the face, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring and threw it on the ground. I yelled, "Now, back off or I'll kick the crap out of all of you!"

St. Peter was impressed. He asked, "When did this happen?" The cowboy replied, "A couple of minutes ago."

A frustrated wife buys a pair of crotchless panties in an attempt to spice up her dead sex-life. She puts them on, together with a short skirt and sits on the sofa opposite her husband.

At strategic moments she uncrosses her legs...enough times till her husband says, "Are you wearing crotchless panties?" With a seductive smile, the woman purred, "Yes."

Her husband says, "Thank God, for a moment, I thought the stuffing was coming out of the sofa."

That's it for today, my little peas. Remember, If you take the Ginko, you might be able to remember where you put the Viagra. I'm heading over to AREA 51 for happy hour.
